It was a risky proposition, but Noah Hawley?s take on the Coen brothers classic Fargo was deemed a critical success, landing 18 Emmy nominations, and it drew a sizable total audience when time-shifted viewing and encores are factored in. Not surprisingly, FX is ordering a second 10-episode installment, with Hawley back as writer/executive producer for MGM TV and FX Prods. The new chapter of the Fargo story will feature an all-new cast of characters, a brand new cast, a new time period and a new ?true crime? story, and it may be filmed in the same location in Calgary. ?Noah?s audacious, bordering on hubristic riff on my favorite Coen brothers film earned 18 Emmy nominations ? the most for a single program in our history,? FX Networks CEO John Landgraf. While Ryan Murphy has been using a core group of actors in multiple installments of American Horror Story, ?Fargo demands a different level of realism, and we felt we couldn?t introduce these actors as new characters.?

I must admit that I've only seen the film once and I struggled with it. Shame considering how much I normally enjoy the Coen brothers, but maybe I should try watching it again.

For the series I thought it started out a bit slow, but I persevered and I'm glad I did. Martin Freeman and Billy Bob Thornton were great!

I still need to read up on the details for the proposed second season, but I'm pretty sure that I'll give it a watch. (Y)
